“You always strive for more and as a competitor you are never completely satisfied. “Individually, I did the best that I could for my team,” Bergeron said. It’s no secret that the Cougars were going to go as far as Bergeron would take them and leading a team that returned only three of 22 starters from the year before, no one expected much out of St. His great season came as no surprise, especially after the stellar junior season he enjoyed last year, but the way Bergeron put the Cougars on his back this season was arguably more impressive than his pin-point precision on his passes. The Acadiana area has enjoyed a lot of great quarterbacks over the years, but Bergeron is arguably the most accurate passer the area has ever seen. So for themselves, their teammates, their coaches, their programs and their fans, this year’s Daily Advertiser’s elite enjoyed a season to remember. DeRouen fell just short of rushing for 2,000 yards, but he scored more than 20 touchdowns and converted more than 20 two-point conversions in his senior season. When it comes to putting up video game-like numbers, no one in the Acadiana area did so like that of Gueydan’s Mr. If you saw Teurlings Catholic this past season, you saw linebacker Chris Trosclair early and often around the football and wreaking havoc for opposing offenses en route to finishing the season with almost 80 tackles.
Thomas More’s quarterback Brandon Bergeron surpassed that mark well before the end of the regular season en route to passing for more than 3,000 yards this past season.ĭo you remember hearing those stories about great linebackers that are always around the football, but then you’d go see them play and they never made a play? Remember when a high school quarterback passed for close to 2,500 yards in a season was considered a remarkable year? In fact, besides his rookie season and his final season in Atlanta, Jones started every game in his career, missing only 15 games to injury in his 10 seasons with the Bills.There are many ways to describe the seasons turned in by the top three individual honorees on the 2012 Daily Advertiser All-Acadiana Football Team, but “a season to remember” may be the best way to describe their efforts this past high school season. This breakout season earned him his first and only Pro Bowl selection.Īfter being inserted into the lineup in ‘92, Jones would be a staple in the Bills’ defense for the remainder of the decade. He also forced two fumbles and recovered two more. He also racked up 92 tackles, which was second on the team behind Bruce Smith. He nabbed 8 interceptions, which tied for the league lead, and returned two of them for touchdowns (in the same game). After an almost silent rookie season in 1991, Jones burst out in his sophomore season of 1992. Jones wasn’t a flashy playmaker, but he wasn’t one to make too many mistakes either. Henry Jones may not come to mind when you think of the Bills’ top defensive backs, but there’s no denying he had a stellar career in Buffalo.
Some are obvious, like a #12 or #78, but when you see a #80 or a #88 you may be find yourself looking at the name on the back, followed by an “ohh yeahh…I remember him.” There are countless former Bills who have etched a special place in the fans’ hearts. If you’ve ever been to a Bills game (or any team’s for that matter) and you’re like me, one of the things you do while roaming the stadium is see who is on the fans’ jerseys. But, luckily for me, the days I remember happen to be the most notable in the franchise’s history. I really don’t think using players from before that time would make sense since I wasn’t alive during those days. Unfortunately, my memory only spans back to the Super Bowl days. This segment is really nothing more than an opportunity for Bills fans (or football fans in general) to recall some of the team’s players who no longer play the game. Last week I started a weekly segment titled “Remember Him?” I highlighted a Bills favorite, Steve Tasker.
